Opportunities and challenges for early career researchers in criminology

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Abstract

There are several challenges that can affect the academic and professional development of early career researchers in criminology. This raises the question of whether researchers in South and Eastern Europe share the same concerns regarding criminology research and establishing themselves as researchers. Additionally, what strategies can young researchers use to enhance their profile? To answer these questions, it is important to provide opportunities for discussion that make visible the needs and challenges faced by young researchers in the field of criminology. The objective of this round table is to promote dialogue among international young researchers and share strategies to deal with the obstacles they encounter. It focuses on exploring lines of research and innovative approaches, as well as promoting collaborative networks for future projects. The goal is to bring new perspectives to the criminological debate.
